As we proudly celebrate our 100th anniversary, we’re not just looking back on a century of unforgettable performances – we’re celebrating the people who made it all possible: you, our incredible theatre family.
For 100 years, the Richey Suncoast Theatre has been more than a stage. It’s been a home. A place where creativity blossoms, friendships are born, and generations come together to share in the magic of live theatre. From the thrill of opening night to the quiet joy of watching a child shine under the lights, every moment here tells a story.
This year, we’re sharing 100 stories for 100 years – stories that reflect the heart of our community. One of those stories came to us through a touching blog post by a parent known as Momudaughter, who found our theatre while searching for an affordable, enriching outlet for her daughter’s creativity.
Investing in Young Talent: Hear from a Theatre Family!
As part of our "100 for 100" Membership Campaign, we’re honored to spotlight families like Momudaughter’s, who’ve experienced firsthand the transformative power of local theatre.

“Local theatre has been a great way to network in our community and make friends. It is also a place where creatives and people with talent can build their resume. And of course as a homeschool family, there are many educational benefits and learning opportunities in theatre.” – Momudaughter
Her daughter’s journey – from roles in The Sound of Music, The Nutcracker, and Murder on the Orient Express to finding a supportive, inspiring community – is a beautiful example of what your membership makes possible. Source: https://momudaughter.wordpress.com/2025/05/05/local-theatre/
